All of this, and
require goes unloved. :(
In the spirit of KISS, and also guessing that if loading
LWP::Simple is too much a performance penalty, i can't imagine
Autoloader will be well recieved, i put forward something like this :
sub once_in_a_blue_moon {
require LWP::Simple;
my $page = get('http://www.yahoo.com');
}
please note, i suggest use'ing the module at the top to improve readability, as i think that will be more important in the long run that the minor gain of not loading LWP::Simple.
i had a memory leak once, and it ruined my favorite shirt.
